Hey all,
In recent months, the mod staff have all been working on a way to make things easier for everyone. With people worried about who to trade with, or how good someone's team rating is, we've instituted an award system,, using badges since we're a Pokémon forum.
These badges are given to users who have proven themselves to be skilful. The conditions are obviously a secret so that they can't be faked, but having the badges will mostly show that you have proven yourself.
Once you get awarded it, you will likely receive a PM telling you so, with the reasoning behind it. The most recent four will also appear in all of your posts.
Below is a list of all the Badges, with special thanks to EmeraldGoblin for designing them.
Competitive Forum
- Pokémon of The Week Contributor
- Tournament Organiser
- Competitive Forum Artist
- Competitive Forum Contributor
- Certified Team Rater
Trade Forum
- Certified Trader
Debates
- Certified Debater
General
- Site Contributor
- Former Site Staff
- Serebii.net Chat Staff
Now, if you see a user helping you via trade or RMT who doesn't have a badge, this doesn't mean that there are untrustworthy so please do not hold it against them.
In addition to this, due to the volatile nature of trading, we also have this badge
Trade Forum
- Scammer
This badge will be given to people who have been caught scamming people multiple times. This is in order to protect other users from being scammed. Don't worry if you get it, though. If you can prove yourself trustworthy again, it will be removed. We hope that we don't have to give this badge out often.
So yeah, that's the new system. I hope you enjoy it and more badges will be added in the future.
